Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Peter Wriggers

Preface

This Festschrift is dedicated to Professor Dr.-Ing. habil. Peter Wriggers on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Peter Wriggers’ main academic stations have been Hannover and Darmstadt. In Hannover, he achieved the degree of a Dipl.-Ing. as well as his PhD and habilitation. After having been in charge of the Institute of Mechanics and Computational Mechanics (IBNM) for almost ten years he became head of the Institute of Continuum Mechanics (IKM) in 2008. In Darmstadt, he was appointed to a full professorship at the Department of Mechanics in 1990. Other important places in Peter Wriggers’ professional life are the University of California at Berkeley (USA) as well as the University of Newcastle in Australia, to both of which he returns on a regular basis. This large number of international connections already indicate that Peter Wriggers is a scientist of extraordinary international reputation. This is underlined by the fact that the present Festschrift comprises contributions from almost every continent and from a very diverse group of people: friends, collaborators, former and current PhD students as well as his own mentor. A wide range of topics is covered in this book, from contact mechanics to finite element technology and micromechanics, among others. These contributions either r
